I'll start with boost, power and temperature, maybe they'll fix it in the future, but now, a processor with a declared TDP of 65, spits 135 watts through the cores and another 15 watts through auxiliary logic. That is, we get 150 watts, which are limited by my motherboard, and the temperature of the chiplet with the cores is about 90 under water in the load. Keep this in mind when choosing cooling. The processor itself is a great purchase, for those who are sitting on past generations of processors with AM4, support for all old boards is a gift. With this processor, the difference in games, in the presence of a powerful video card, is immediately noticeable. At the expense of professional tasks - here to each his own, for streaming and editing - excellent. I noticed a difference in batch processing of photos, if I upload processing 1000+ photos. Everything goes much (about 1.5 times) faster compared to the overclocked 1700. I also want to praise the boost and RAM support. You no longer need to smoke manuals and be the Chosen One, just plug in a good memory and everything will work as it should. Of course, you can tweak it manually, but there will be no serious, real difference. If you take a computer “from scratch for games”, then take a competitor or the younger model 3600. 3600 in games will show similar performance. And at the same price, with a competitor, the results in games will be better.
